AC Slater means business with his remix of Juiceboxxxs recently released single “100 MPH”, he brings us housey piano stabs, lazer sounds, big breakdowns and some wobble bass galore.
Two years in the making but now the epic new single from Milwaukee born rapper/producer Juiceboxxx is about to see the light of day, it’s called “100 MPH” and will be out September 1st on IHEARTCOMIX with remixes coming from bass heavy hitter AC Slater, Brooklyn outfit Free Blood and electro duo Ocelot. Juiceboxxx ventured to the Chi to record the vocals for the track with Chicago house legends Joe Smooth and Craig Loftis, the result is:
“…a great American dance pop song, equally suited for driving really fast across the desert or pumping your fist at a show”.
NYC heavy bass hero AC Slater sent over the fifth and latest release from Party Like Us Records. If you enjoy your bass music mixed up with slabs of heavy electro house then you’ll enjoy the “Make Me Dance EP” from Pittsburgh producer B. Rich. The title track is a driving banger which features some party instigating vocals by Reese, “It’ll Be Alright” goes a bit deeper and heavier while featuring haunting vocals by Domonique.
The Trouble & Bass crew out of NYC have gone from strength to strength during the last two years. They happen to be one of our favorite dj crews and now they’re about to follow in our footsteps with the latest edition of the Scion compilation CD series. This is the 25th edition and it’s packed to the brim with some of their heavy bass induced gems which we’ve all grown to love. We just received this spectacular promo mix that will show you exactly what Trouble & Bass are all about.
“Scion has partnered with Brooklyn-based label Trouble & Bass for the latest installment in the Scion CD Sampler Series. What is Trouble & Bass? Trouble happens every time the Brooklyn-based crew of Drop The Lime, AC Slater, Star Eyes and The Captain get together to throw legendary dance music events. Bass is everything, whether the backbone of releases on the Trouble & Bass label or the driving force of the ballistic, sweat-inducing DJ sets – all timeless rhythms, unforgettable melodies, and surprise after speaker-quaking surprise. If you’ve been missing the raw energy that made electronic music so exciting in the first place, this is where it’s been hiding. Trouble & Bass crew are the DJs who are defining a new New York sound and sharing it worldwide. Riot inciter Drop The Lime, formed the Voltron-like T&B a mere two years ago, but already they’ve earned kudos the world over!”
BONUS: Here are two of the tracks off the compilation. AC Slater with the dubsteppy, chainsaw bass wielding “Calm Down” and Trouble & Bass head honcho Drop The Lime with the fantastic “Tabac Theme”.
Here is a new track from the guys in Jamtech Foundation to promote their upcoming gig in California.
“Jamtech Foundation will represent the swedish colors in California on the Swedish national day of June 6th when they will be playing Trust (that has previously had acts like AC Slater and Kill The Noise) at Proof Bar in Santa Ana Arts District. So if you are in the greater Los Angeles area, drop by!”
Next week is that last week to get your remixes ready for one of our four remix competitions that we are running at the moment. Get your skillz on and show us what you got!
This is the second release on Party Like Us Records and it’s from one of the hottest on the scene. AC Slater dissappoints noone with his intense and hard hitting sound. This track has been around before but here it is in 320 goodness and to top it off a remix from Drop The Lime.
“Complete with deep wobbly bass, a face melting solo and robot voices, this blog favorite is finally receiving an official mastered release with 4 slamming remixes. Drop The Lime takes it straight to the dancefloor on his warped and rolling remix, with bonus fart sample. Baltimore superstar Tittsworth’s remix is deeper and heavier with an amazing mash of techno and bmore. Inhouse artist B. Rich fuses electro and dubstep influences together into a nuclear powered remix, and Clark Able brings the techno flavor with a driving builder of a remix.”
The latest release on the excellent Nightshifters label drops today and it’s the EP “Rock It Out” from Bushwick bass phantom AC Slater. We can seriously say that this is a destroyer, where you’ll find the urging vocals of “Get it down, rock it out” teaming up with a wobbly bassline!
